Summary:
BMC claims its four vehicles pick up about 35 to 50 dogs each day from the city.According to a rough estimate, the state capital has about 50,000 stray dogs. "Services of the NGO have been discontinued from August 31," said Dr Shrivastava. "Dogs are being fed dalia twice a day," said a guard employed at the dog shelter. Yearly payments for 10,000 plus sterilisations would cost the civic body about Rs 1 crore for the sterilisation drive. Many of the stray dogs brought there were caged since late August and are yet to be released, he added.In 2014, BMC had categorically denied before the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) the allegations that stray dogs were being dumped at the garbage facility..
